Rrfmor that Cleveland Has Written Letter
Declining to Be q Candidate.
Washington Special.
There is much discussion here regarding the
Presidents candidacy for denomination. There
are many who assert that Mr.. CIeveland will
seek denomination and that the plans are
already being arranged by Lamont and other
trusted friends to bring about such a result
Other friends of the President are positive in
their assertions that Cleveland will not seek a
denomination, and that he has written letter
to that effect. A representative Of the press has
assurances that he deems trustworthy that Nj.
Dorsheimer, editor of the New York Star. has
now in his possession a letter in which the Pres
ident says that he will not be candidate. that
he was the first man to lead the party to success
in many years; that he recognizes the fact thar
he has not satisfied many of the leaders in the
party, and that he has no desire to be the first
man to lead the party to defeat. The press cor
respondents informant says that this letter has
been in the hands of Mr.. Dorsheimer for some
time, and that the latter has instructions to
make the contents OF the same known when, in
his opinion. the proper time has come for so
doing The President feels that his administra-
ton will satisfy the country. but he recognizes
the fact that the political leaders in his own
party are against him. and that il is doubtful
whether he could secure nomination, and that,
even could he succeed, it would be after bitter
night, which would leave the party in such a di-
viced condition as TO render success almost inn
possible. Few of the leading Democratic papers
are supporting hin, and he now only hope

am inclined to DOUBT whether the question Of
economy should be allowed to enter at all into
the government of large city. Or, rather,
there should be an absolute understanding of
what legitimate economy consists of and what it
does not. Simply to save money is never econo-
my. 1t is often the most reckless sort Of waste
fulness. Nor is it thrift to pinch and prune in
one direction only that one may expend more
lavishly in another. It needs much patience,
great wisdom and earnest foresight to know
where and how to begin cutting off expendi-
lures in municipal or national affairs. There
is Belgium as case in point. She held, with
out doubt the first place among European
nations for industry, comfort, general excellence
In art and manufactures and advance in educa-
ton. Her system of public schools. both educa-
tional and industrial, was wholly admirable. and
high standard of excellence was the result.
